Ted Harvey Conservation Area

Ted Harvey Conservation Area consists of four large land tracts totaling almost 2,700 acres near the historic state capital of Dover. Its namesake is the founder of Delaware Wild Lands, a conservation organization which purchased the property in 1967.

Ted Harvey Conservation Area is located within a short drive of the St. Jones Center for Estuarine Studies, its surrounding nature preserve, and the John Dickinson Plantation.

Before your arrival, we recommend you consult the current schedule of hunting seasons. Or, if you're ever in doubt, simply wear hunters' orange or other bright colors. Also, please be advised that wildlife areas typically keep signage to a minimum, so a compass or GPS unit may be a wise thing to pack.
